My Mom is known as the soup whisperer and after you try this recipe, you’ll see why. This “creamy” chicken noodle soup is everything you’d expect it to be with a surprise ingredient that gets added at the end. 😉
Recipe Notes for Chicken Noodle Soup
Add Cinnamon
My favorite part about this recipe is the final pinch of cinnamon that you can add to your individual bowl. It takes this classic soup to a whole new level of comforting. I don’t recommend adding the cinnamon to the entire pot, though. A little can go a long way, so adding it to the individual bowls keeps the flavors balanced depending on your taste preference.
Extra Broth/Stock
I recommend having extra broth or stock on hand, because the noodles will absorb a lot of the liquid.
Classic Chicken Noodle Soup
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter (or olive oil)
- 1 sweet onion, chopped
- 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
- 2 celery ribs (including leaves), chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup unsweetened almond milk
- 3 tablespoons flour
- 4 cups of chicken broth (you will need extra broth, I recommend getting two boxes)
- 3 cups cooked, shredded chicken
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
- 2 cups egg noodles
- 1/2 cup coconut milk
- Fresh parsley, chopped
- Salt & pepper to taste
- Optional: Cinnamon (add a pinch of cinnamon to your serving bowl (not the full pot), if desired)
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, heat the butter over medium-high heat. Add the chopped onion, carrots and celery. Cook until veggies are tender - about 6-7 minutes.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for 2 more minutes, being careful not to burn the garlic.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the almond milk and flour so there are no clumps.
- Pour the flour mixture into the soup pot and stir in the chicken broth.
- Add the shredded chicken and fresh thyme.
- Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
- Bring the soup to a boil and stir in the egg noodles.
- Cook for about 10-15 minutes until the noodles are soft.
- Stir in the coconut milk and fresh parsley. Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
- Ladle the soup into serving bowls and add a pinch of cinnamon on top (optional).
- YUM!
